All Around Is Nothing 1 is part of a series of six geometric works on paper that call to mind the work of British Op-Art artist Bridget Riley circa the 1960s. The series features a single geometric circle in varying angles and monochromatic shades. In this work, thin graphite bands form the geometric circle giving it a 3D effect. A background of repetitive horizontal graphite bands suspends the circle giving it the appearance of floating in space. Drawing the viewer's gaze toward the singular spherical object, All Around Is Nothing 1 invites the viewer to engage in a philosophical reflection of the nature of reality and one's place within it.
